Jelly

You wrote about jelly-
Fish, and I fell back into the pond
Of memories, of 5am rowing out
Across the silent lake
Through the haze
Of last nightโ€™s full moon;
And the empty bottles
And the screams
And my hiding
And the tears
And the sorries;
You wrote about jellyfish
But I drowned
Beneath their nets,
Suffocated by
Their ignorance;
You wrote about jellyfish
and I fell back into the pond
Of blancmange
and raspberries.
